Zaro's Family Bakery (Penn Station)
7.6
A classic commuter bakery inside Penn Station: sturdy rugelach, challah, black-and-white cookies, and reliable bagel-adjacent staples designed for grab-and-go. Nothing here is precious, but the baking is consistent and the turnover is constant, which keeps everything tasting fresher than you’d expect in a transit hub. Ideal for a fast breakfast or train snack rather than a destination pastry run.
Must-Try Dishes:
Cinnamon rugelach, Chocolate babka, Everything bagel with schmear
